💖 get_dwarf_regstr(9) 💖

okay so this page is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey a little legend. bestie, it's giving "one function, zero drama" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

get_dwarf_regstr — Returns ftrace register string from DWARF regnum. periodt 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the exact signature, no cap — don't @ me:

const char * get_dwarf_regstr (unsigned int n , unsigned int machine ,
       unsigned int flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • n — DWARF register number. that's the regnum bestie 🫶
  • machine — ELF machine signature (EM_*). yes, the EM_* vibe 🌸
  • flags — ELF flags for things like ABI differences. ABI girlies rise 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Kernel file ./tools/perf/util/include/dwarf-regs.h — that's the one, bestie 👑🦋

that's the whole page, and honestly? iconic. this gem is served from ./tools/perf/util/include, dated October 2026 — slay, bye 💅✨
